DESCRIPTION
First of all, we would like to thank you and congratulate you to your purchase of a DYNACORD power
mixer.
The PowerMate compact power mixers incorporate profound know-how, based on our research, development and
inter-communication with our customers in the professional audio market, for decades. With a PowerMate you
own a power mixer that offers a wide range of functionality in a very compact frame. Forget about the troubling
experiences with cabling and matching mixers, amplifi ers, FX units, and equalizers. You now own a device with
optimally matched components. The mixer’s ergonomic console shape and clearly structured controls provide
perfect overview for instant access at all times. A gooseneck litlight can be easily plugged into the provided socket
to compensate for insuffi cient lighting conditions. Also during the transport you will quickly learn to appreciate the
PowerMate’s superiority: recessed handles on the sides, compact dimensions and low weight, plus the sturdy
cover that protects the controls from being damaged. However, if you would rather like to install your PowerMate
1000 in a 19” rack shelf, no problem. The only thing you have to do is to replace the plastic side panels by a pair of
metal rack mount ears. Through its multiple functions, its high dynamic capacity, and extremely low-noise design
in combination with its 24-bit Dual-Stereo effect unit and the high-performance power amplifi er, the PowerMate is
best equipped for universal use. No matter, whether on-stage, in a home recording environment or in a permanent
installation, your PowerMate is the ideal partner to meet your expectations of a professional audio device – effective
and reliable. Of course, you want to install and operate your new PowerMate as quickly as possible. Nevertheless,
please take the time to do this by means of this user’s manual. Starting with input channels, effects and master
areas up to the power amp, every section is explained systematically and in detail within this owner’s manual.
Through the careful perception of the manual you will learn about all functions and fi nd some useful and practical
tips for the daily operation of the PowerMate. Even more important, you will fi nd some adjustment guidelines that
should be painstakingly carried out; plus the description of a typical sound reinforcement installation, a block
diagram, specifi cations, connection guidelines, etc.… So, take your time and keep on reading.
Unpacking and Warranty
Open the packaging and take out the PowerMate. Remove the FX unit displays’ protective foil. In addition to
this owner’s manual you will fi nd the mains supply cord and the warranty card. Please check, if the warranty
registration form is fi lled out correctly. Only when this form is completed, you will be able to apply for warranty
claims. DYNACORD grants 36 months of warranty, starting with the date when you received the appliance from
your local dealer. Therefore, we would like to ask you to also keep the original certifi cate of purchase together with
the warranty certifi cate.
Keeping all papers and the original packaging of the device is generally recommendable, since they come in
handy re-selling an appliance.
Installation and Connections
Do not cover the ventilation louvers in the bottom plate of the appliance. Always place the PowerMate on an even
surface to allow for suffi cient airfl ow during the operation. The device is equipped with electronically controlled
ventilators to protect the power amplifi er against thermal overload. The direction of the airfl ow is front-to-rear. Fresh,
cold air enters the mixer at its lower front side and warm air leaves the device through the ventilation louvers in the
rear panel. Do not cover the frontal or the rear ventilation louvers. Otherwise the PowerMate automatically enters
protect mode to prevent thermal overload. While the protect mode prevents that the device is being damaged,
regular operation is impossible during the period of time it is activated. In case the PowerMate is installed in a 19”
rack system (vertically), you have to allow at least 2 HU of free space above and 1 HU below the mixer. Of course
you can cover the empty space with special blind plates that also have ventilation louvers. Before establishing the
mains supply connection, please make sure that the device matches the voltage and frequency of your local mains
supply. Check the label next to the mains switch. When switching the power on, the internal fans will run for about 2
seconds at full speed to give you an acoustical signal that the PowerMate is ready to be operated. In addition dust
particles that might have gotten into the device get blown out. For a secure connection the SPEAKER OUTPUTS
on the rear panel of the PowerMate are provided through professional standard high-performance SPEAKON
connectors. The pin assignment of these sockets is 1+ (hot) and 1- (cold).
